I like the idea as a solid business to business model.
But couldn't this better be accomplished as a white label application? The focus on twitter and facebook seems like a mistake to me. Not everyones' business has customers on fb and twitter. Also as Tony pointed out, seems unnatural and quite spam-tastic. Combine that with me having to go to refmobs not very attractive (imo) participation site and I just don't see myself allowing my company to be represented like that.
White label, fully brandable, in-site or standalone dead-simple referral management system.
Track and manage referrers, refer-ees, campaigns and analytics.
@apsurd - thanks for the mention. You are spot-on about the white labeling - we do offer the ability for a company to host the referral page describing the offer on their own site with their own branding (rather than RefMob's.)
Also, with respect to Facebook and Twitter - all we are trying to do is make it easy for people to refer their favorite business to their friends (not anonymous people) and share the referral bonus with them. They don't have to use FB or Twitter - for example they could just share the link to the referral page on their blog, or on a card, however they like.

Now you've got my attention.
